SUMMARY:How Birds Created the World ….
DESCRIPTION:How Birds Created the World … and Other Stories from The Complete Language of Birds with Author Randi Minetor\n\n\nAncient Egyptians believed that the Earth began as an egg laid by a giant goose. Ojibwa people of America’s northern plains tell of a Great Flood that swept away the world’s evils\, and the bird that braved the deep waters to bring a bit of soil up from the bottom to restart the continent. European scientists once believed that geese survived the winters by turning themselves into barnacles and adhering to the bottoms of ships\, transforming back into birds in spring. These and many other tales told in Randi Minetor’s latest book\, The Complete Language of Birds\, bring us back to a time when birds seemed like magical beings with the answers for so many of the world’s questions.   \n  \nAbout the Presenter \nRandi Minetor\, author and journalist  \nBestselling author Randi Minetor writes the Birdfinding and Best Easy Bird Guides series for Falcon Guides/Globe Pequot Press and is the author of Backyard Birding and Butterfly Gardening for Lyons Press. Her most recent book\, The Complete Language of Birds\, is an encyclopedia that unites classic illustrations\, science\, folklore\, and mythology about more than 400 bird species around the world. She writes for Birding Magazine\, is a regional report editor for North American Birds\, and has served for three years as president of the Rochester Birding Association in New York State.  \nTo learn more about Randi Minetor visit: http://minetor.com\, and her entire book list can be found here:  https://www.amazon.com/author/randiminetor . \n \nIf you would like to directly register and bypass eventbrite\, please do so from here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/20qBXRdqS_qlLm_Q0X-21A

SUMMARY:Fireflies of Florida
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a closer look at a diverse\, overlooked\, and threatened fauna!\n\n\nFireflies in Florida?! Many Florida residents have never seen a lightning bug in the Sunshine State\, despite it being home to more species than any other state. In this virtual presentation\, Richard Joyce will explore firefly natural history and conservation\, with a focus on the species found in Florida and special attention to the Florida intertidal firefly\, an imperiled species that may be awaiting discovery in Palm Beach County. Learn about the threats to fireflies and how they can be addressed. Finally\, the presentation will introduce viewers to the activity of “fireflying” and provide an invitation to participate in the Firefly Atlas\, a community science project of the Xerces Society. \nAbout the Presenter \nRichard Joyce is an endangered species conservation biologist at the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation\, whose mission is to protect the natural world by conserving invertebrates and their habitats. Before joining the Xerces Society three years ago\, Richard worked at The Nature Conservancy in Maine\, the Maine Natural Areas Program\, and Congaree National Park. He currently resides in Amherst\, Massachusetts\, but has made annual trips to Florida for firefly fieldwork. \nLearn more here: \nXerces Society (https://xerces.org/)Firefly Atlas (https://www.fireflyatlas.org/)
